Rose talked about why he pretends to be the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion and why he interacts with fans when Reigns is accused of making promises he can’t keep. Just as he was talking about how Reigns and his faction “failed” to win the championship at WrestleMania 39, The Rock showed up.
“The Last Boss” stepped into the ring wearing a new cut-off shirt. He entered the ring to cheers of support and opposition from the fans. He didn’t grab the mic and didn’t seem to want to attack Rose — at this point, anyway. Then he leaned over and whispered something in Rose’s ear.
WWE fans suggested that The Rock gave the American Nightmare an ominous warning of what the night would hold.
“I’m going to bleed you tonight,” he seemed to say, shocking Rose.

The Rock returned to the backstage locker room, but did not return until much later in the show.
Jimmy Uso and Cicor then entered the match between Jey Uso and Shinsuke Nakamura, but Rose and Rollins tied it up. Drew McIntyre came down to take down Rollins as Rose focused on Jimmy Uso and Rollins threw Chicor over the barrier.

Rhodes and Usso scuffled in the back. He gained the upper hand when he, and eventually Shikoa, came to the aid of his Bloodline stablemates.
But out of nowhere, Lock scored.
The Rock ripped Rose from behind, eventually taking the fight outside in the rain. He slammed Rose into the two-time Royal Rumble winner’s tour bus, and by the end of the brawl, Rose was bleeding from the top of her forehead.
“Look at your son, Mama Rose,” The Rock said to the camera. “It didn’t have to be this way. But it’s the only way to go now. Look at my son.”
